From the moment you arrive at this oasis, you know this is a place you have always dreamed of. I think ‘luxury’ was the first word that entered my mind as I was personally greeted, handed a glass of chilled sparkling wine and escorted to the check-in area. Not pretentious, mind you – just ‘over the top’ customer care. Every other word is ‘it’s my pleasure’, with smiles and more attention than you could imagine.
There are numerous room categories to accommodate every like and budget. We were privileged to be accommodated in the Excellence Club in a junior suite ocean view room. The ‘club’ is a concierge concept – providing private check in / check out, premium beverages and gourmet bites throughout the day, upgraded in-room amenities, with a personal concierge located in every building and an exclusive beach area with butler service. Building 9 was perfect, close proximity to the main building where most of the restaurants and shops are located. Our 3rd floor room provided a spectacular ocean view, and overlooked the elegant wedding gazebo – privately situated with ocean views and surrounded by water and its fountains – very cool.
The room has everything to not only provide comfort, but luxury as well. Love, love, love the bathroom – double sinks, very large walk in shower with rain shower, illuminated make up mirror (always a must when I travel), drawers, more mirrors and enough counter space to accommodate all of the toiletries. And, of course, no need to bring your usual shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion – they provide every little thing – Bulgari products – perfecto! Tucked into a curtained corner of the room, with view to the sea is a Jacuzzi tub – romantic??? Yes it is! Fresh fruit, chocolates and a chilled bottle of bubbly have also been placed in this haven. If you’re into watching television – the flat screen and numerous cable channels will certainly accommodate you – also, a DVD player, IPod docking station and complimentary, wireless Internet. The king-sized bed – absolutely fabulous! The balcony is quite large, and provides a lounge bed and table with 2 chairs.
What else? Nine a la carte restaurants, eleven bars (spectacular swim up)/lounges, tennis, spa, fitness center, shopping, beach massage, water sports, romance, fun and various types of entertainment to suit your every desire. The food is absolutely amazing, service also amazing – and everywhere you are, you see the guests of Excellence having a great time. Just this afternoon, for at least 2 hours, a live band entertained on the beach playing rock ‘n roll. Guests were movin’, groovin’, singin’ and dancing in the sand. The resort is approximately 90% full – full of happy Americans, Canadians and Europeans – many who choose to return year after year.
At Excellence Playa Mujeres (playa meaning beach, mujeres meaning women) … they take care of all of your needs … so that you are free to create the moments you dream of, and memories that will last forever. At Travel Concepts we, too, look forward to welcoming you ‘home’ to this slice of luxury! www.excellence-resorts.com / www.travelconceptskc.com
